Hi all,

I use MailMate with one email account for home and another email 
account for work. I never really want to “mix” the two, but 
MailMate seems to be set up to combine all accounts. Yes, I can create 
submailboxes of my smart folders for each account, but what I’d 
really like is for the top level to be accounts and then have my 
various smart folders under that.


Before I construct parallel sets of smart folders manually, I thought 
I’d ask: does anyone else use MailMate like this, and if so, what do 
you do?


I don't, but only because I don't feel the need to add hierarchy to my 
smart folder arrangement. All of my smart folders specify just one of my 
accounts as the source or source mailboxes only from one account. It's 
certainly feasible to organize your smart folders in the "Mailboxes" 
section by account, but you will need to do it manually.


I also thought of putting smart mailboxes _inside_ each of my 
“sources” rather than in the “mailboxes” section, but the 
first time I tried that I got a crash, so for now I’m not.


Yeah, that would never work.

Mixing the folders in "Sources" (which mirror the folders as they exist 
on the IMAP server) with the entirely virtual "Smart Folders" that 
MailMate constructs using its comprehensive (and entirely client-side) 
index of that message store would result in massive confusion. There's 
no way to replicate the smart folders on the server side so people would 
surprised by their (smart) mailboxes not being visible via other clients

Re: [MlMt] Reinstalling MailMate after a Mac OS Erase and Install

2022-02-10 Thread Randall Gellens 
As it happens, I’m in the process of migrating to a new laptop. 
Apple’s Migration Assistant utility did a remarkably poor job, 
transferring a few apps but no files in my library. I manually copied 
~/Library/Application Support/MailMate and 
~/Library/Preferences/com.freron.MailMate.plist. I had to reenter my 
account passwords and license key, but other than that, everything seems 
to be here.

Thanks for any experience you folks can provide.
